Can be. I had a friend die of exposure to agent orange.
Agent orange was a known carcinogen but was used continuously throughout the Vietnam war to clear vegetation around fire bases and base camps. It was sprayed from the air, contaminating large numbers of soldiers and civilians with the cancer-causing agent. Cancer started showing up in higher numbers, along with birth defects from the soldiers' offspring.

Nobody really discusses which lung disease killed Ben Franklin, what we do know is that it was obvously from natural causes

Pathological lung sections differ from normal lung tissue. Pathological lung sections include the pathological tissues of fibronectin, collagens, and proteoglycans.
The stroma
The lungs tissue will float
The bacteria that cause tuberculosis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, primarily break down lung tissue. They do this by producing enzymes that degrade the proteins and lipids in the lung tissue, leading to tissue damage and inflammation.
A spot on the lung tissue can be caused by scarring or from a benign tumor. It can, but does not always mean lung cancer. Asking your physician is the best course of action.
Pneumonitis refers to lung tissue inflammation. Bisegmental pneumonitis refers to inflammation of the lung tissue with occurs in two segments.
